Lots of people have asked where our name comes from. Well,  Del Marie can actually mean a few things. We’ll let you decide which is us:

• Directly translated, Del Marie means “of the bitter place” or “valley of bitterness.”
• According to the urban dictionary a “delmarie” is a dumb girl.
• My middle name is “Del” in honor of my maternal grandmother, Delcie. And Annemarie’s middle name…well, that’s kind of obvious.

While dreaming up our plan to start a creamery, we started calling this not-yet-business “Del Marie.” After a while, we realized it just couldn’t be called anything else.

We think the name Del Marie is anonymous, yet personal. It’s inclusive to other cultures, but local. It’s quirky, yet grounded. It’s made with love, from our kitchen to yours.
